Stormy Friday morning in Harlingen, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n HARLINGEN, Texas \u2014 Friday<\/strong> began under threatening skies<\/strong> across deep South Texas<\/strong>, as isolated showers rapidly intensified into a powerful line of thunderstorms<\/strong> sweeping through Cameron County<\/strong> and surrounding areas. The early morning has been marked by loud thunderclaps, vivid lightning, torrential downpours<\/strong>, and several severe thunderstorm warnings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The most intense impacts so far have included wind gusts reaching 70 mph (112 km\/h)<\/strong> and hailstones the size of quarters \u2014 about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter<\/strong>. These conditions have led to hazardous travel, and the line of storms continues to push southeastward<\/strong> through the morning hours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Storm trajectory and afternoon threats<\/strong><\/p>\n The primary line of storms<\/strong> is expected to clear out gradually by midday. However, residents shouldn\u2019t become complacent. Even after the main system moves through, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms<\/strong> will linger into the afternoon<\/strong>, particularly between late morning and 4 p.m.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Rain chances will remain elevated \u2014 between 30% and 40% \u2014 with additional rounds of storms possibly reaching severe limits<\/strong>. The atmosphere remains ripe for large hail \u2014 potentially up to golf ball-sized (1.75 inches or 4.4 cm)<\/strong> \u2014 and secondary wind gusts approaching 60 mph (97 km\/h)<\/strong> in the strongest cells.<\/p>\n Stay aware throughout the day in South Texas<\/strong>, especially in areas stretching from Harlingen<\/strong> toward Brownsville<\/strong> and across the Lower Rio Grande Valley<\/strong>, as conditions remain volatile and potentially dangerous<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stormy Friday morning in Harlingen, Texas HARLINGEN, Texas \u2014 Friday began under threatening skies across deep South Texas, as isolated showers rapidly intensified into a powerful line of thunderstorms sweeping through Cameron County and surrounding areas.
